Chisinau, November 23, 2022 – Chisinau City Hall and the General Directorate for the Protection of Children’s Rights of the Chisinau Municipal Council presented, at a public event held at the “Patria Lukoil” Municipal Refugee Temporary Placement Center, the results of the “Help me to help you!” campaign, which was carried out between May 30 and August 29 of the current year within the “Data for Impact” (D4I) project, implemented by Palladium International, with the financial support of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the support of the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).“As the vast majority of refugee children from Ukraine remained in the Municipality of Chisinau, this campaign was welcomed because it allowed us to have the most accurate record and documentation of the needs they face as well as to prevent many situations of imminent risk for children.In particular, the children at risk were those unaccompanied by authorized persons and in imminent danger, and their situation has been resolved through the intervention of the General Directorate for the Protection of Children’s Rights with the assistance of the representatives from the territorial and local guardianship authorities.“Our contribution to this campaign consisted, first of all, in the application of a complex methodology of mapping the needs, starting with the design of the data collection form, a training organized together with UNHCR to train the specialists who interviewed the refugees, the analysis of the data and ending with further examination of the results together with key actors in order to support them in undertaking concrete measures and actions for the benefit of the refugees.I appeal to the Roma community to take an example from my family and do everything that is possible so that their children are also educated and schooled, which will make their life easier”, confirmed Nicolai, Ukrainian refugee of Roma ethnicity, father of 3 children."
